Anindilyakwa Arts is a thriving hub of art centres and gallery located on Groote Eylandt in the Gulf of Carpentaria in the Northern Territory. Art centres are based in Angurugu, Umbakumba and an outreach program runs in Milyakburra, Bikerton Island. Anindilyakwa women are renowned for their contemporary bush dyed textiles, seed and shell jewelry, botanical lino prints and weavings of pandanus & ghost nets. Anindilyakwa men are known for their traditional carvings, paintings and spears. Anindilyakwa Arts is supported and funded by The Anindilyakwa Land Council (ALC), the peak representative body for Traditional Owners of the Groote Archipelago.
